Zomby - Natalia's song

I had a tenner in my paypal account which I was looking for an excuse to use, so I bought it.

 

Fucking 9 quid for 1 track though

Yeah, I got it earlier. Solid track, nice packaging. Looking forward to the album in July.

 

BTW, it's cheaper @ boomkat or chemical records

haha now i know why my natalias song mixcut is sooo wanted and downloaded on slsk..

Something doesn't sit right w/ me about this song. And again like 2562, It's going to be on the album.

gimme please now thanks

Bought this vinyl, hope it becomes worth more than $18 for one track

This was certainly a highlight of the Burial/Kode9 mix, really glad it's getting a release (although I was pretty sure it was going to be on Hyperdub)

Love the track!

Really fucking good.

 

I am now highly anticipating the release of the full length, which I wasn't before.

 

Bravo.

Yes, so mine arrived the other day. Its a nice package execpt you have to RIP the outside of the sleeve to open it.

I guess it was worth the 9 quids. I hope you enjoy the 4-minute song with a damaged sleeve.

Update: Zomby’s currently addressing this issue on Twitter. Well, sort of.

 

A producer on Soundcloud has uploaded a loop of music that he claims to have written, solo, in October 2007.

Many FACT readers will instantly recognise it as Zomby’s 2011 single ‘Natalia’s Song’, bar a couple of minor differences. The producer, named Reark, claims that the title is a reference to Natalia Ladygina, a Russian friend of his, covering Irina Dubcova’s ‘O nem’. He goes on to detail the sequence of events as he sees them:

 

“01. I wrote this loop back in October 2007, entirely by myself, posting it on myspace.

“02. Zomby, with whom I was communicating, hears the loop and offers to collaborate to finish it. I agree and send him the original Reason song file + Rex file of the vocals.

“03. Zomby posts the loop on his myspace without crediting me, I complain, he takes it down.

“04. In the next months Zomby suggests where the track might get released. I continue to remind him that it’s a collaboration.

“05. Without my knowledge, a slightly revised version is aired by Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1, you can hear Zomby’s revised drum variation from 1:06 — 1:36.

This is the only significant change he’s made to the track. The rest is looping, and some slight editing of the vocal cuts.

“06. The track gets released on 4AD in May 2011, I notice in August 2011. I complain first to Zomby with no effect, then to 4AD, to whom I send this loop plus an e-mail sent from me to Zomby with the original Reason song file from October 2007. 4AD accept my evidence and change credits to include my name.”

 

A glance at 4AD’s website shows that they have now credited Reark on the track, so his sixth point is certainly true. It’s not the first bit of controversy to crop up from ‘Natalia’s Song’ either; upon the song’s release last year, Irina Dubcova

You can stream Reark’s loop below."

i saw that this morning. my favorite track of his too. i noticed on spotify the artist name has been updated to Zomby/Reark.

Wow, Zomby really seems to be a cunt.

All of the British guys around who like Zomby's music:

Huge amount of Apologies to the UK and all of them musicians around.

It reaches past taking musical ideas as well. Look up Glowstyx "Class of 1992". Something suspicious going on there.

Always thought Zomby was a tool but this is ridiculous. Flat out robbery. I hope Reark gets paid.

this, and i've seen people in this forum defend it too as if it's not an outright stealing. Maybe because his version is more 'authentic UK' than Bongra's ? either way take your head out of your UK hardcore nostalgia ass and recognize this dude ripped it off.

I always thought zombys cuntish attitude was a put on, but no it looks like he really is a proper cunt! :)

So, he's just a dick with production skills then.
